Beans and Love

[Verse] On a red checkered table, 'neath the setting sun, Sits a pot of beans, and a hard day's work done. Dad's calloused hands, worn by time's grace, Tells stories of the land, etched into his face. [Verse 2] The whistle of a kettle, fills the twilight air, Son echoes laughter, shows just how much he cares. In a world that's movin' fast, they're takin' it slow, Beans in a dusty pot, love in the hearts they show. [Chorus] Beans and love, simmered through the years, From a father's wisdom, to a son's fearless cheers. Families ain't built in gold or silver dreams, But in moments like this, over a pot of beans. [Verse 3] They talk 'bout the harvest and the storms they've braved, Memories etched in the soil, lives they've saved. The fields stretch wide, like the bond they share, One day the son will lead, with the father's love to spare. [Bridge] In the quiet of the evening, words ain't always said, But in the flicker of the lantern, love's easily read. The warmth of the kitchen, the stories that it means, They're richer than a king, with just a pot of beans. [Verse 4] Years will pass like rivers, flowin' wild and free, The boy will grow and wonder who he's meant to be. With a heart full of lessons, and a pot of beans, He'll carry forward all the love, just like his ol' man dreams.
